MRT said a System Protection Warning will become effective at the start of Friday’s gas day. The warning’s conditions are identical to those of one posted on Christmas Eve (see Daily GPI, Dec. 24, 2002).

CenterPoint (formerly Reliant) said Wednesday the #2 unit at Amber Compressor Station is down for unscheduled repairs that are expected to take one to two days. All secondary firm and IT receipts west of the station were reduced to zero until further notice.

Sonat plans to begin repairs Friday on the Main Pass 311A line and expects to return it to service Monday. The offshore Louisiana line experienced an unscheduled outage last month that required five points to be shut in (see Daily GPI, Dec. 16, 2002). Two additional points, Main Pass 310 and Main Pass 310 Buy Back, will be shut in during the repair procedure.
